hahaha excellent.

They seem like a lot of tournaments, but its not. The Ranji Trophy gives each player around 6-9 FC games a season, the Duleep gives upto 5, and the Irani 1. So thats only a maximum of 15 FC matches a season for a domestic player, which I think is fewer than County Cricket?

Yeah, Railways are Elite. They're the largest employer in the World (according to my 10 year old copy of the Guiness book of world records), and their employees keep getting transferred across the country making it tough for them to play for any one state team. So they get their own team, which is pretty good.

Duleep Trophy is played with the teams distributed among 5 zones, should really be the premier competition instead of the Ranji IMO. They also had a few overseas teams play as a 6th team in the past. I think England A participated a few years back.

Irani is played as a one off FC match between the Ranji champions and the Rest of India. It used to be held at the end of the season, but I think its recently been played as a season opener (between the latest champions and the Rest). I think the earlier scheduling made more sense.

Yeah, it's not like the Railways or the Services! :ninja:

It doesn't, or else they'd have had a half decent test side. :ninja:

Seriously, I have NFI. I can't even name more than three sides in their competition, and I'm not even sure if they're clubs or franchises or proper FC sides. I think wikipedia might have something on them.

Pahaha. Dire.

Well it was in danger of being 5 hours without someone insulting you.

You're a ****.

You're a ****.

You're a ****.

I know thanks, will do it in my own good time :P

For you, my precious ***y Beast - Video

Only because there doesn't seem to be any other worthwhile clip of him bowling online, tbh

Joginder bowled that last over in the 2007 T20WC that India won. There's bound to be plenty of youtube videos of that around, you could watch those to get an idea

IMO he was dropped because his speed just didn't cut it for International cricket.

I asked myself the same question when I used to play ICC :P

TBF Joginder Sharma is just a medium pace trundler. Praveen Kumar is a similar operator on the domestic scene, and the selectors always seem wary of playing their type in Test cricket. They want fast bowlers, but nobody wants to bowl express pace day in and day out in the heat and humidity, not to blame them.

Yeah, that points system makes no sense. I bet we would have far better bowlers if it didn't exist in its current format. Curators would then have no incentive to make pitches as flat as possible.
